Environment variable

Hi!

Ok, so I'm no programmer and I have basically no experience in these stuff. However I need to work on a thing (I think you call it Framework) called Root. It's a tool used by physicists. In the manual they keep talking about Environment variable. Even thou I searched for what it is on the net, I can never find a explanation that I understand... Can someone point me some book, or site for (really) dummies on this?

Much appreciated Smilie

DtMmdbBookGetLongTitle(library call)									      DtMmdbBookGetLongTitle(library call)

NAME
DtMmdbBookGetLongTitle -- obtains the long title of a book SYNOPSIS
#include <DtMmdb.h> const char* DtMmdbBookGetLongTitle( DtMmdbInfoRequest* request, unsigned int* length); DESCRIPTION
The DtMmdbBookGetLongTitle function returns the long title of the specified book object. Do not use the free function on the returned pointer. Table lookup is involved when the identifier is specified by either the primary_oid or sequence_num field. ARGUMENTS
request Specifies the bookcase in the bookcase descriptor field, as well as a valid value in the primary_oid, the secondary_oid, or the sequence_num field. The primary_oid represents the DtInfo Database object identifier of the TOC section; the secondary_oid rep- resents the object identifier of the book itself; and the sequence_num represents the sequence number of the book within the bookcase (0 based). If more than one of these fields have a valid value, the order of precedence is: primary_oid, secondary_oid, and, last, sequence_num. length Specifies the variable to receive the length of the returned long title, if the returned pointer to the title is not NULL. RETURN VALUE
If DtMmdbBookGetLongTitle completes successfully, it returns a pointer to the book's long title. If it fails, it returns a NULL pointer. EXAMPLE
None. SEE ALSO
